Last years setup:



It's awesome Craig that you make these crazy courses and show all the bros at Bear skiers can rip just as hard as snowboarders. That place is like 98% snowboarding man, it's nuts. I counted 3 other people on twin tips the last time I went.

In short, keep up the good work. Definitely heading up to check it out this year.

It's March 1st-3rd.

And for all you that can't make it to the event we are doing live streaming with commentating provided by Jeff Schmuck and Colby West.

I would suggest trying to make it out though because its going to be wild.

I wish I can invite more guys but the list is already stacked as it is. Perhaps I'll qualify 20 instead of 15 guys depending on the registration turn out.

Wesson should be a no brainer. he is arguably the best rail rider out and would add alot of creativity to the group. I think you should send him an invite, because he deserves it just as much as any one else on the list.


Also, thanks for creating this contest. You are making the world a more awesome place.

Shut the fuck up. War of rails is one of the best comps of the year. Just because the features are bigger then anything you would ever hit doesn't mean they need to be replaced by a down rail with soit stairs under or

Funny you say that. 99% of bears park staff are snowboarders. They built the WOR course.

This years course has 12 rail features. I hope that's enough for you.

meh that course was cool but I still think last year's WOR course was better (more fun to watch).

I gotta say though the course from two years ago was insanely good from a spectators perspective, I hope they have something like this again.

Am I the only one who thinks it would be sick if they took this stacked of a lineup and had them sesh a setup thats not all huge features? Like a DFD, up rail, flat tube, and other stuff that makes true rail skills shine? The setup was sick but it seemed like the rodeos over the tap and Wally's 4 out of the wall ride made it less about rails

Its a sick comp and all the tricks were sick but it was almost a slope comp, I think it would just be really sick to see that lineup sesh a smaller setup. I think the tricks would be more tech compared to rodeo over a tap in a railjam

Yah great idea.
